Service providers

We may disclose part of Users’ personal information to our business partners and service providers, when this is required in order to provide the services you have ordered.

The use of any data provided by Rivelin Arts to these partnering service providers is governed by their own Privacy Policies and is beyond our control.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How long we retain your data

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with our services and comply with our legal obligations in relation to the retention and deletion of personal data and as described here in our Privacy Policy.

Personal data that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes. Personal Data will be retained for a minimum period of 1 year and for a maximum period of 7 years following consent/purchase date as required for record retention for tax purposes.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

International transfers of personal data

We may use third party services for storing and hosting of information which are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA). As a result, we may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. In this case, we will ensure that information is protected to a level that meets the requirements of UK/EU law e.g. rely on Privacy Shield certification as the legal basis for the transfer.

The European Commission has made an “adequacy decision” with respect to the data protection laws of US. Transfers to USA will be protected by appropriate safeguards, namely EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

In addition, we have security procedures in place to protect our paper based systems and computerised databases from loss and misuse, and only allow access to them when it is absolutely necessary to do so.

There may be security and privacy limitations, which are beyond our control. By choosing to provide personal information to Rivelin Arts you understand and agree that the security, integrity and privacy of your information cannot be 100% guaranteed.
